This new variety is conceded by critical authorities to be an advance in celeries that merits 

 more than ordinary praise ; it is an intermediate between white and red celeries, combining 

 the good qualities of both. 



To those who are acquainted with our world-famous " White Plume " — and who is not ? — 

 we can quickly describe the " PINK PLUME " by stating that it is practically identical, but 

 with the added merit of the stalks being exquisitely suffused with pink and possessing the 

 crispness, rich nutty flavor, and long-keeping qualities for which red celeries are noted. Bed 

 celeries, notwithstanding their superior flavor, have never become popular in this country on 

 account of the prejudice .against their dark appearance. But in this new celery, "PINK 

 PLUME," in addition to its choice " red celery flavor," we have a celery of remarkable attract- 

 iveness when trimmed for the table. The solid succulent stalks are IVORY "WHITE SUF- 

 FUSED WITH DAINTY PINK, which not only delight the eye but tempt the palate of 

 the epicure. 



Henderson's New Pink "Plume" Celery is a strong, healthy, compact grower, with no 

 tendency to rust ; stems very solid and crisp, extra early and a long keeper, remaining when 

 properly trenched in perfect condition away into the spring. The variegation on the tops does 

 not show quite as early as the "White Plume," but the celery blanches and matures really a 

 little earlier. It is a self-blanching variety in the same sense that " White Plume," and Golden 

 Self -Blanching are — that is, it requires but a slight earthing up or banking to prepare this 

 variety for the table. 



We have introduced into cultivation many new vegetables which have become indispensable, 

 but never an applicant to the gardening world with more confidence in its ability to win a 

 permanent place than HENDERSON'S NEW "PINK PLUME" CELERY. 



Price, 20c. per packet; 6 packets for $1.00.

ON THE PliHTE OPPOSITE. 



A water melon which can be successfully grown over a larger latitude and will invariably 

 mature in any of the States where the season is as long as that of New York. It is the finest 

 water melon for the amateur that we have ever seen ; a sure cropper, enormously prolific and 

 extremely delicate in texture of flesh, which is of a bright red color; the rind is thin, and the 

 quality of the flesh is sustained clear to the rind. It is, however, exceedingly brittle, hence 

 not desirable for shipping purposes, but, possessing all the other most desirable features, we 

 can highly recommend it for home use. The melons are of medium size, nearly round in 

 shape ; green, striped with lighter shades. 



Price, lOc. pkt., 30c. oz., 80c. % lb., $2.50 lb. 



The only Water flelon 



that invariably succeeds 



in the Northern States.
